After reading this topic, I am going to generate 1million address a day...

lol, I was thinking about making software to to do this. Generate address and see if one address has any balance

I think you can use VanityGen to do this.

I know that VanityGen can generate 200,000,000 addresses a second on my computer, but it would be slower if you had to compare with your local blockchain for a balance every time. Also my computer is slow.

wow thats alot. Yea I was considering for my program to just generate like 100 address then check all 100 address for a balance. Then add those address to a long running address list. which is checked every 5mins or something

I voted, but this seems like one of those topics where the OP states something along the lines of, "Let's just say you won the powerball lottery, and took home over $120 million USD after tax, what would you do?" - The reality of this question is that the chances of this happening is so slim, especially on a wallet that contains 100 BTC, imo, it makes this thread pointless. Not sure what you're looking for OP, but if it ever happens, the person who lost the 100BTC probably deserved it. End of story.

That's a small chance. But,, it can still happen..which kind of scares me.

If you're scared of this, then you sure as hell should stop using banks and credit cards.

Because the chance of someone guessing your credit card details, AND your online banking credentials (AND winning the Powerball twice in a row) is still much, MUCH larger than someone accidentally generating your bitcoin address.

The chance of an asteroid destroying earth or a nuclear war is way higher.Or getting struck by a lightning...twice in a row.

There has been at least one person that got hit by lightning a half dozen times. The truth is the odds against address collision are so great we cannot comprehend the vastness. We don't have any way to grasp it.

Also do not forget that even if you find a valid address, chances are much more than 99.99 % certain it is a wallet with no coins (generated by another vanitygen).

You are always finding valid addresses with VanityGen, however if you set VanityGen to find a solution for a full length address you would obviously make sure that address you are bruteforcing held Bitcoins.

Its logical to brute force against the largest address because its illogical to search for any other address due to time and energy requirements.
